Description
Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are ultrafine fibers extracted from cellulose, the most abundant organic polymer on Earth found in plant cell walls. Ranging from a few to tens of nanometers in diameter and extending hundreds of micrometers in length, they possess exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, optical transparency, a high aspect ratio, extensive surface area, biodegradability, and low density.
